Monday, July 25, 2005 Natural gas salesMay 2005 (preliminary)Natural gas sales totalled 4 859 million cubic metres in May, up 0.8% from May 2004. Higher sales (+2.6%) in the industrial sector (including direct sales) were moderated by weaker volumes of sales in the residential (-3.1%) and the commercial (-2.8%) sectors. The decreases were a reflection of warmer weather conditions in western Canada. Year-to-date sales at the end of May were up 0.1% from the same period of 2004. The residential (+1.0%) and the commercial (-1.5%) sectors posted offsetting changes, while use of natural gas by the industrial (including direct sales) sector has edged up 0.1% so far this year.
